Is it possible to rename the Power menu?

If you mean the headline of the power menu dialog and you are familiar with coding, then yes. In the language folder, inside the skin folder, there should be the relevant language file, that needs to be edited.

Is it possible for this screen to work well with touch screen devices? I am using a tablet and each touch seems to be treated as a long press which makes it impossible to scroll widgets, select settings via popup dialogs etc..

The skin does not support touch screen devices, sorry.

Totally out of the blue here, and not even sure if it is skin related, but all of a sudden it is taking a really long time to pull extended actor info. For example if I go to a movie, hit info, choose an actor and hit up this will get me more info on the actor, other TV shows and movies they have done, etc. I do this pretty frequently and it used to take maybe 5 seconds give or take but now takes 30 seconds and longer regardless if this is the person's first movie or they have a gazillion credits like Bruce Willis. Any ideas?

There is nothing i can do from the skin side. The embuary info addon is used for this and im not familar with addon coding, to see, whats going on, sorry

@beatmasterrs sorry, for wasting a post space. Instead of restarting just Kodi, like I tried multiple times initially, I restarted Kodi, Shield, PC and router. That looks to have fixed the issue, so I guess the rogue process or network congestion was hiding in there somewhere. So embarrassing, I'm in IT and the first thing I tell a user is "well did you try restarting?" 

On a different note, I was curious, is there a way to select which actor picture is used on the info screen? I'm not sure how the skin determines which picture it uses, maybe the first thing it scans starring that actor and then it gets cached? I first started hoping to change the pic when the skin chose a pretty unflattering picture of Kelly McGillis for Top Gun and then also when the skin would sometimes show pictures of an animated character the actor voiced instead of a picture of the actual actor.

I was also interested in this, but imho it's not possible to change the icons of actors.

First off I'd like to say thank you for the amazing skin.
I've used Kodi for years, but never ventured into a skin until now but this is practically perfect and exactly how I want things to look, with 1 small exception which I'd like to ask about.

-- Edit - 

Ignore below, think I've sussed it - you need to change the Fallback wigdet to not be about spotlights but about recently added tv shows or something I believe.
This is all new, I'll get them I'm sure.

Thanks again for the great skin.


On my home menu I have Videos, Movies, TV Shows, Settings and Power.

It doesn't matter which of these I select, I always get covers for Movies shown in the main portion of the screen - rather than TV show covers if the cursor is on TV Shows menu etc.

Is there anything I can do about this ?

Thanks a lot

Not quite. You need to edit the home menu and choose a widget for each menu choice. So for example for Movies you can select the Recently Added widget, for TV Shows you can select the In Progress widget, etc.

If you only change the Fallback widget it just means that every menu choice will now show that widget.

Thanks for the great work on this skin.

Added a couple of PRs on Github to:

- Fix the currently broken trending movies widget
- Add season to Wide view for episodes, to fix flattened episode lists

I'd also like to port the extra options from Poster Wall to Poster Wall Small, and add an option to display unwatched episode count as indicators on tv shows (that I miss form Titan), but those are a little beyond my skinning skills today, will try to find the time to send patches for those in future.

Hello @beatmasterrs.
Is there a Nexus compatible version available? The one in Kodi repo crashes when I try to use it. Many thanks!

[sniktaw]

When I go to a TV Show that's in progress the first unwatched episode is not highlighted (perhaps also not in focus).  If I click left or right the episode either side is highlighted appropriately so Kodi is correctly focusing on the next unwatched episode.  To watch the episode I have to click OK twice, once to highlight then a second time to play it.  With Estuary I only have to click OK once and the episode starts to play.  Thus it appears to be a skin thing.  Any thoughts @beatmasterrs ?

Yes, i am working on a nexus version. Currently, there are two nexus vesrions:

https://github.com/beatmasterRS/skin.arc.../nexus.zip

https://github.com/beatmasterRS/skin.arc...cker-1.zip

The colorpicker version has an option included, to switch to another color palette, like there was in the colorpicker addon. The skinhelper colorpicker addon, that i've used in matrix version, does not work for me in nexus, so if there is no fix for that, i will change functionality to the in nexus included colorpicker method. 

We will see

I was not able to reproduce the issue, you have. Could you please enable debugging in skin settings > arctic zephyr reloaded > debugging, and then make a small video? So i can see, whats going on.
